>Description:
NetBSD currently includes tzdata2007f, the current version is 2007g
(which includes updates for Australia, Egypt, and parts of Indiana, US).
I am not seeing any immediate liklihood of any coming updates
(though with timezones anything is possible - there is talk about
changes in India and Venezuela, and Egypt may need more changes.)
There is nothing mmediately pending which might make it worth
waiting for the next update (it could be months away).
This is of most relevance now with the 4.0 release (or whatever it
is eventually called) coming, that should contain the most up to
date data.
>How-To-Repeat:
By inspection.
>Fix:
Upgrade to 2007g, and pullup to netbsd-2 netbsd-3 netbsd-4 ( & 4.0_RC*)
